Each day as I headed downtown I found myself passing the Serious Pie. I’d peer through the window at the beautiful pizza’s on the various tables and think to myself, “I have got to try that!” And so it came to pass that one day I just happened to have some free time and so I grabbed Chip and we headed across the street to check out the latest restaurant by entrepreneurs Tom Douglas, owner of the Dahlia Lounge and Lola’s.
With all the wonderful breads Tom produces at his bakery that go out to his various restaurants and other retail sites, it was just a matter of time before a pizza restaurant evolved. Tom is serious about wanting his “pies” to be simple with a serious eye toward good toppings.
The seating area has long, tall wooden table that give the restaurant a warm cozy feeling. Tumbled stone, wrought iron fixtures and a timber frame only add to that feeling. The staff was friendly and welcoming as they sat us behind the kitchen area giving us a great view where we could watch the pizzas being built and cut.
Here I am, waiting on my “pie”:
See that window on the left? It was full of gorgeous loaves of bread.
We decided to start with a salad. I don’t even remember exactly what was in the salad but I do remember that it was seriously yummy!
The pizza had home made sausage pancetta, onion and asiago cheese. The crust was thin and delicious with visible holes if you viewed it from the side (that’s a good thing!).
I’m sad to say that I was much too full to order dessert. That’s a shame because they had a lemon tiramisu. Intriguing! That will have to wait until next time, I suppose!
